Major Global Gaming Award Won by Microgaming
October 7, 2022
There are a lot of different awards ceremonies that happen for the online gambling industry. These ceremonies are really important because they create the opportunity for sites and software companies to be recognized for the great work that they have done. This in turn makes it easier for players to see what the top sites and software companies are, and that's one of the main reasons why they are so useful and such a good incentive for the businesses themselves. Microgaming has recently taken down a very important award that means a lot more than you would think at first.
The award that Microgaming has won is the Global Gaming Award for the Digital Product of the Year. This is significant for two main reasons. The first reason is that it shows that they are staying ahead of the curve when it comes to other software companies that have focused primarily on driving high-quality content instead of a high quantity of content. This competition forced Microgaming to change their strategy, and you can see that this has been working with the success of innovative titles like Terminator 2 in the past year. Microgaming has been on top for two decades, and this award shows that they have good chances of staying on top for longer.
The second reason can be best summed up by Microgaming CEO Roger Raatgever in a statement that read, "It's an honor to take home the award for Digital Product of the Year. What makes the award so special is that it was voted for by a panel of judges which comprise some of the biggest names in the gaming industry. We've been recognized by our peers." The Global Gaming Awards are voted on by a panel of 50 different leaders in the industry instead of a private panel, and that makes winning one so much more meaningful.
The main game that Microgaming got so much attention for with this award is Terminator 2. This game is based on the blockbuster hit from the 1990s which is known as one of the most iconic action films of all time. Microgaming picked up this daunting project earlier this year and released it with a 243-ways format. In the free spins bonus round, an extra row of symbols opens up making it a 1,024-ways game during the free spins in a very innovative feature that caught the attention of the industry in a major way.
